Megastar Chiranjeevi is maintaining the momentum with a series of promising projects in the pipeline. With his much-awaited film Vishwambhara completed and waiting to be released, the seasoned actor is now gearing up to commence shooting for his next project under the direction of blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi. It is said that regular shooting for this film will commence very soon.
And that’s not all. Chiranjeevi has already signed on another biggie, this time with emerging director Srikanth Odela for a film which has been announced officially and is making quite the buzz. Sources tell us that the team is planning to go on floors soon.
In a major surprise, Srikanth Odela is reportedly planning to approach a top Bollywood actress to play the female lead opposite Chiranjeevi. Rani Mukerji was in consideration at first, but the current buzz doing the rounds in the trade indicates that Deepika Padukone has been approached for this role. Having had her maiden outing in Kalki, Deepika has generated a huge fan base among Telugu viewers.
If the deal materializes, this would mark a grand pairing of Chiranjeevi and Deepika on screen for the first time—a casting coup that’s sure to excite fans across industries. However, an official confirmation is awaited to see if Deepika will say yes to this highly awaited collaboration.
